+  Result sets can be buffered or unbuffered. Using default settings,
+  <literal>ext/mysql</literal> and <literal>ext/mysqli</literal> work
+  with buffered result sets for normal (non prepared statement) queries.
+  Buffered result sets are cached on the client. After the query
+  execution all results are fetched from the MySQL Server and stored in
+  a cache on the client. The big advantage of buffered result sets is
+  that they allow the server to free all resources allocated to a result
+  set, once the results have been fetched by the client.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+  Unbuffered result sets on the other hand are kept much longer on the
+  server. If you want to reduce memory consumption on the client, but
+  increase load on the server, use unbuffered results. If you experience
+  a high server load and the figures for unbuffered result sets are
+  high, you should consider moving the load to the clients. Clients
+  typically scale better than servers. <quote>Load</quote> does not only
+  refer to memory buffers - the server also needs to keep other
+  resources open, for example file handles and threads, before a result
+  set can be freed.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+  Prepared Statements use unbuffered result sets by default. However,
+  you can use <function>mysqli_stmt_store_result</function> to enable
+  buffered result sets.
